مَنظومة ابن الشِّحنَة في علوم البلاغة العربية: (عرض، وتحليل، ونقد)

Abstract

In the times of the Islamic nations’ history, the rajaz poems of education have spread in various sciences and arts and primarily the science of rhetoric has a considerable share in the same. The rajaz poem of Ibn Al-Shihne, named (Mi’atu Al-Ma’an’ wa Al-Bayan), was the first full rhetorical educational rajaz poem we reviewed. In it, the studies of rhetoric were compiled very briefly, so teachers and learners rushed to this rajaz poem memorizing, explaining and teaching it. Many books have been written about this rajaz poem, so much, that the interpretations were even more than thirty, some of them are printed and some still in the pipeline. However, this rajaz poem has gone through an analytical study that shows its characteristics and reveals its value among the historical rhetorical books despite its importance and impact in the composition of the rhetorical – just like the case for the most other rhetorical rajaz poems. That is whythis research can be instrumental. It begins with an introduction and then talks about it both analytically and demonstratively; and examines this rajaz poem in terms of the poet’s introduction, the content and its ownership to Ibn Al-Shihne, as well as its spread, its typologies, the method of content composition, linguistic style and scientific method. The research also examines the poem in terms of how the author was influenced by Khatib Qazwini, in addition to the way of presentation of the content of the rhetorical and various other topics. At the end of the research, a conclusion is drawn by showing the importance of Ibn Al-Shihne in the history of the rhetorical authorship.
